These past few weeks, my husband and I have been doing a whole lot of nothing.
We both had a mini version of the flu around New Year’s, and his hung on for the rest of the month. So, we mostly spent time at home doing a whole lot of nothing, which turned out to be something.
One day we hosed off the back porch. One day my husband cleaned the kitchen.
We sat in the living room -- a lot. We watched back-to-back-to-back reruns of “Law and Order,” the regular version as well as SVU and Criminal Intent.
We know law and we know order.

CITY ON A HILL
Just a reminder that City on a Hill Church is no longer meeting at the old Berry Lumber Co. Building. We are now holding services every Sunday in the Community room at the Cynthiana-Harrison County Public Library.
Connect time is 9-9:45 a.m. for some recreation and Bible Study for our youth with the youth Pastor. Adults will also meet for fellowship in the community room at these times. Service will begin at 10 a.m. with live worship. Come as you are and worship with us.

My, how times have changed. Sometimes not for the better.
I’m sitting here in the office, finishing up this column for the newspaper, wondering why there wasn’t school today in Harrison County and a dozen or so other counties in the region.
I can’t speak to the other counties, but as for us, it doesn’t seem like the roads are too bad at all.
I can only attribute our school closing to another weather forecast that didn’t quite live up to its expectations of impending disaster.

This week was the busiest yet in Frankfort with a number of bills moving through committees and on to the Senate and House floors for votes.
We were also visited by a number of statewide advocacy groups that
championed their great causes and rallied in the Capitol Rotunda.
Between visiting constituents, committee meetings, and voting on the
Senate floor, we continued to discuss the upcoming budget.

A number of years ago, I flew a plane, Delta flight 837.
OK, I didn’t exactly fly it, but I definitely helped.
My daughter and granddaughter were on that flight from Atlanta to Honolulu, a nine-hour, 14-minute flight that, except for bathroom breaks, I tracked on my computer to make sure they got there safely.
At one point, about an hour off the California coast, I noticed that the plane icon on my computer faced east instead of west.

Dear Spring,
I’m ready. I’ve waited (im)patiently while your predecessor has made hit after hit on us.
I’m ready for Old Man Winter to gather up his dingy, gray snow and ice, his biting wind and frosty mornings and hit the road.
I realize that it’s early. And that according to the pudgy rodent in Pennsylvania, we still have six weeks of bad weather to endure. However, taking into consideration all of the Global Warming mish mosh, I believe that Winter should just bow out now.
